Amitabha Foundation Australia
Basics
The Amitabha Foundation is a Tibetan Buddhist Centre located in a beautiful former church on Sydney's north shore, close to Hornsby and Waitara railway stations. The Spiritual Director of the Foundation is His Eminence Choje Ayang Rinpoche, a senior Lama in the Drikung Kagyu lineage who also holds and teaches from the Nyingma lineage.
Rinpoche guides the Amitabha Foundation Australia, like all his centres world-wide, to express the "two wings of the bird" of the Buddha's teaching. One "wing" is wisdom: providing the opportunity for people to receive, study and practise the authentic teachings of Buddhism in a warm and supportive environment which welcomes people from all backgrounds, cultures and degrees of experience in the Buddhadharma. The other "wing" is compassion: providing active service and help to both our local community and to disadvantaged people in Tibet, Nepal and India.
All our courses and events operate on a donation basis. We welcome everyone interested in our activities, regardless of financial circumstances.
We support small business, women's health and education projects in remote far east Tibet (Kham) and run a successful sponsorship scheme for Tibetan refugees in India.
We also offer meditation courses, study and practice groups for people interested in the Buddhadharma and regular public drop-in meditation sessions.
Actively involved in our local community, we make our hall available to a variety of other religious, neighbourhood and business organisations. We welcome enquiries from groups and teachers interested in using our facilities.
